Mine is an '04 CE manual transmission with about 280,000 miles on it. Overall very reliable vehicle. Most of the maintenance issues seem to be non-engine related, such as the hood/trunk not latching and needing to replace the latch, gas cap leaking, had to replace both front bearings and one of...

Right on! Go for it. I concur - checking other threads is a great place to start. In general, this is a pretty broad and open-ended question. It depends on a number of factors, like your current level of mechanical knowledge, etc... But if you want to approach it systematically, I would...

Might not be a bad idea to check that the AC relay has not failed. Often, the horn relay is the same, so you can swap them to check. Check the fuse box under the hood near the battery.

Any luck finding the problem? If not the relay, could also be low on refrigerant...

In case someone else finds this thread, I had thumping in the front end of my 2004 Corolla with ~200k miles at the time. Ended up replacing the front struts and all was well again. The job is pretty straightforward as mentioned previously. If you want to see what was involved with that repair...

Nice!

Hey, not sure if you were able to solve this problem, but thought I would chime in, as I had a similar problem some months ago. Intermittent AC in a 2004 Corolla. After checking a lot of things, including the R134A level and pressure. I finally figured out it was the A/C relay that was going...

I had intermittent AC on my 2004 Corolla. It ended up being the A/C relay was bad. You can do a quick test by swapping it with the horn relay, just to see if that fixes the problem. They are located in the fuse box under the hood. The relay is only about a $15 part. I made a quick write-up about...

Hey, did you get this resolved? Any updates? Check the ground cable to the starter. Make sure it is not loose/corroded. If so, clean it and tighten it up.

I had a similar issue and replaced the starter. That fixed the problem. Also I suspect that the ground wire to the starter may have been the problem from the beginning, as it was quite corroded. I had already ordered the new starter, so I didn't bother with the old one anymore. Those starters...

I had these error codes as well, P0133 and P0134 in a 2004 Corolla. I took out the upstream sensor and cleaned it, then re-installed it. The CEL came back. I ended up replacing the sensor, cleared the codes, and the CEL stayed off. That seemed to fix the problem.

Do you have a 'check engine light on'? If so, check the codes. Could be a battery with low voltage. Sometimes lights will still come on, but battery doesn't have the voltage to get the starter to engage. How old is the starter? I just noticed this is an old thread, but hopefully this can be...
